THANK YOU CAROLYNE! Our LEEs include a very LONG line of ministers, and since they did branch off that way It is probable he is the same. They also went by initials many times- so often it is hard to determine proof without further research. This does give me a good lead to research! Bless you. Have a wonderful day!

There is a Lee mentioned on page 263; the Rev. W.J. Lee is among a list of pastors at the Mulberry Baptist Church between 1867-1903. Since W.J. Lee is listed first, I presume he was the first known pastor at that church. It was located in Beat 3, about 6 miles southwest of Centreville, on what is now State Highway 25. Carolyne
